The things they call "shooters" behave the exact same way as "feelers" do for lightning. I also cannot wrap my head around how that works, but in the case of the ballbearings, I'm like "that's not new, they're just taking a ride along with the electrons."

Cool, lightning made from ball bearings. Nothing really mysterious going on here, but it's nice to look at.

It's amazing how perfectly this captures the feeling of Louis Armstrong's ghost being trapped inside a computer and forced to sing the words to Apple Bottom Jeans, unable to comprehend their meaning or why someone would torture him like this.
